No DVD Drive in Explorer.

I cannot see the DVD drive, or use it.

There is no 'D:' drive in the explorer tree.

But if I click on 'This PC' it will be listed in the 'devices' pane that pops up as 'drive D.'

If I click on it in devices there it asks me to insert a disk. Whether or not there is a disk in there. It doesn't seem to realise there is one there.

It was working fine last time I used it - couple of months ago I think.

Anything I can do?

edit:

Problem solved. Well not 'solved' but gone away.

I took the drive to a different computer and tried it there. Same thing: showed in the devices pane but not in the explorer tree. But this time when I inserted a disk it played it. Showed it in the explorer tree.

So I brought the drive back to this machine and hooked it up again.

This time it is performing okay.

So I don't know what that was about. I would delete the question but I don't think that can be done.
